==== Tropes describing Yudkowsky or his work: ====
* [[Useful Notes/Atheism|Atheist]]: Doesn't mind calling religion "insanity", but believes in promoting [http://lesswrong.com/lw/1e/raising_the_sanity_waterline/ rational thinking in general] and letting atheism follow.
* [[Badass Boast]]: [http://lesswrong.com/lw/gz/policy_debates_should_not_appear_onesided/ "Unfortunately the universe doesn't agree with me. We'll see which one of us is still standing when this is over."]
* [[Useful Notes/Bisexual|Bisexual]]: Is straight, but would take [http://lesswrong.com/lw/1ww/undiscriminating_skepticism/1r80?c=1 a pill that would make him bisexual] because it would raise his ability to have fun.
* [[Child Prodigy]]: He was one.
* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Little Brother]]: Sort of; His little brother [http://yudkowsky.net/other/yehuda died] at the age of 19, but although it may have made Yudkowsky's search for immortality more personal, he was already an atheist, [[Living Forever Is Awesome|immortalist]] and an advocate for cryonics before this tragic incident.
